Wetpaint (2010) hosts free wiki's for anyone to create and use. There are many appealing settings available for the appearance of layout of the wiki. However, the free wiki does have adds which can be removed at a subscription rate. As there is no control over which adds will be viewed on the wiki at any time, it is not appropriate to use this site for education purposes.
Below is a screen capture of a wiki I started for this piece of assessment on Wetpaint. After much personal debate about the appearance of adds versus the options on the presentation of the layout, I decided that appropriateness for an educational setting outweighed the importance of the looks of the wiki and chose not to use this hosting site.
Wetpaint has two permissions settings for the free wiki.
